He releases ! Oraje from her promise to him. CHAPTER XlX.—(Continued.) 1 “What’s the matter?” asked the I captain. Ellery did not answer. He read the 1 note through and then, without • i word, handed it to his friend. The note was as follows: ! “Dear John: “I am going away, as I told you I ! would if he came. He is coming, i Tuesday I got a letter from him. It 1 was written at Kingston, Jamaica, al--1 most three months ago, I can’t think why I haven’t got it sooner, but supi pose it was given to some one te mail and forgotten. In it he said he was tired of going to sea and was coming home to me. I had money, he said, and we could get along. He had shipped aboard a brig bound for Savannah, and from there he was going to try for a berth on a Boston-bound vessel. So I am going away and not coming back. I could not stand the disgrace and I could not see him. You and Grace won’t need me any more now. Don’t worry about me. I can always earn a living while I have n?y strength. Please don’t worry. ■ If he Comes tell him I have gone you do know where. That v. ill be true, fbr you don't. I hope you will be very happy. 1 do hope so. Oh, John, you don’t know how I hate to do this, ; but I must. Don’t tell Nat. He would I do something terrible to him if he ; came, and Nat knew. Just say I have : been called away and may be back i some time. Perhaps I may. Love to ; all. Gcod-by. Yours truly, “KEZIAH COFFIN.” The captain stared at the note. Then he threw it to the floor and started for the door. The minister sprang from his chair and called to him. “Nat,” he cried. “Nat! Stop! where are you going?” ' “Coin’?” he growled. “Goin”’ I’m goin* to And her, first of all. Then ! I’m cornin’ back to wait for him.” 1 “But you won’t have to wait. He’ll j never come. He’s dead.” j I “Dead? Dead? By the everla.stin’! this has been too much for you, I ; ought to have known it. I’ll send the : doctor here right off. I can t stay ! myself. I’ve got go. But ” “Listen! listen to me! Ansel Coffin Is dead, 1 tell you. I know it. I know all about it. That was what I wanted to see you about. Did Keziah teU you of the Sat. Jose and the sailorwho died of smsliyox in this very building? In that room there?” “Yes. John, you -” “I’m not raving. It’s the truth. That sailor was Ansel Coffin. I watched With him and one night, the night Wore he died, he spoke Keziah’s nptne. He spoke of New Bedford and of Trumet and of her, over and over af&ln. I was stare who he was then, bat I called It*. Ebenezer Capen, who used to know Coffin in New Bedford. And he him. Nat; as sure you and I are here this minute, Coffin, Aunt Keziah’s husband, to hurled i& th* Trumet cemetery.” CHAPTER XX. I« Whl«h Mr. Stone Washes His Hands. Mr. Abwr Stone, of Stone & Bark--01 warlne •otfitters and ship chan-

dlers, with a place of business on Commercial street in Boston, and a bank account which commanded respect throughout the city, was feeling rathei - irritable and out of sorts. Poor relations are always a nuisance. Mr. Stone had “washed his hands” of his cousin, Keziah Coffin, or thought he had. After her brother Solomon died she had written to him. asking him to find her a position of some kind in Boston. “I don’t want monfcy, i don’t want charity,” wrote Keziah. “What I want Is work. x Can you get it for me, Abner? I write because father used to tell of what you said to him about gratitude and how you would never rest until you had done something in return for what he did for you.” Captain Ben Hall’s kindness was the one thing Mr. Stone forgot when he said no one had ever helped him. He disliked to be reminded of it. It was a long while ago and the captain was dead. However, being reminded, he had called upon a friend in the tailoring line and had obtained for Keziah the place of sewing woman. She decided to become housekeeper at the Trumet parsonage and so notified him* Then he washed his hands of her. But now he was compelled to soil them again. Keziah had appeared at his office, without warning, and demanded that he find her a position. “Demanded” was the proper word. Certainly she had not begged. Sh« seemed to feel that her demand was right and proper, and his acceding to it the least he could do. x “What a fine place you’ve got here, Abner!” she said, inspecting the office" and store. “I declare it’s finer than the one you had when you first went into business, afore you failed. I wish father could have lived to see it. He’d have realized that his judgment was good, even though his Investment wasn’t.” Captain Hall had invested largely in that first business, the one which failed. Mr. Stone changed the subject. Later in the day he again sought his friend, the tailor, and Keziah wai installed in the loft of the latter’s Washington street shop, beside the other women and girls who sewed and sewed from seven in the morning until six at night. Mr. Stone had left her there and come away, feeling that an unpleasant matter was disposed of. He had made some Inquiries as to where she intended staying, even added a half-hearted invitation to dinner that evening at bis home. But she declined. “No, thank you, Abner,” she said, “I’m gein’ to find a boardin’ place and I’d just as soon no,body knew where I was for the present. And there’s one thing I want to ask you: don't tell a soul lam here. Not a soul. If anyone should come askin’ for me, don’t give ’em any satisfaction. I’ll tell you why some day, perhaps. I can’t now,” This was what troubled Mr, Stone as he sat in hie office. Why shoulC this woman wish to have her where- j abouts kept a secret? There was x reason for this, of course. Was it a respectable reason, or the other kind? If the latter, his own name might be associated with the scandal. He wish- ; ed, for the fiftieth time, that there i were nd poor relations. A boy came into the office. “There ; is some one here to see you, Mr. Stone,” he said. “Who is it?” “I don’t know, sir. Looks like a I seafaring max}, a sea eaptain, I should [ say—but he won’t give his name. Says ifs important and nobody but you’ll do. “Humph! right. Tell him to : wait. I’ll be out in a minute.” Sea captains and 'ship owners were Stone & Barker's best customers. The senior partner emerged from the of- ; flee with a smile on his face, t “Ah!” he said, extending his hand. “Glad to see you. Captain—er ” “Hammond,” replied the visitor. ‘ “Same to you. Mr. Stone.” “Fine weather for this time of i year.” “Fine enough, Mr. Stone.” “Well, Captain Hammond, what can ! we do for you? Going to sail soon?” j “Not' right away. Just made port, ! less’n a week ago. Home looks good ] to me, for a spell, anyhow; ” “Sc? Yes, I have no doubt. Let me see —where is your home, captain? I should remember, of course, but ” “Don’t know why you should. This, is my first trip in your latitude, I guess. My home’s at Trumet.” “Trumet?” Mr. Stone’s tone change ed. “Yes. Trumet, down on the Cape. Ever been there? We think it’s about as good a place as there is.” “Hu-u-m! Trumet? Well, Captain i Hammond, you wished to see me, I understand.” “Yos. Fact is, Mr. Stone, I want to ask you where I can find Mrs. Keziah Coffin. She’s a relation of yours, I b’lieve, and she’s come to Boston lately. Only yesterday or the day afore. Can you tell me where she is?” “Why do you wish to see her?” “Oh, for reasons, personal ones. She’s a friend of mine.” “I see. No, captain, I can’t tell you where she is. Good morning.” Captafln Nat was greatly disappointed. * “Hold on there, just a minute,” he begged. I “This is important, you understand, Mr. Stone. I’m mighty anxious to find Kezi—Mrs. Coffin. We thought,, some of her friends and I. that mast likely you’d know where she was. Can’t you give us any help at all? Hasn’t she been here?” it

“Good morning, Captain Hammond. Ton must excuse me, I’m busy.” He went into the office and closed the door. Captain Nat rubbed his forehead desperately. He had been almost sure that Abner Stone would put him on Keziah’s track. Grace had thought so, too. She remembered what the housekeeper had told concerning her Boston cousin and how the latter had found employment for her when she contemplated leaving Trumet, after her brother’s death. Grace believed that Keziah would go to him at once. Nat walked to the door and stood there, trying to think what to do next A smart young person, wearing a conspicuous suit of clothes, aided and abetted by a vivid waistcoat and a pair of youthful but promising sida whiskers, came briskly along the sidewalk and stopped in front of him. “Well, sir?” observed this person, with cheerful condescension. “Anything I can do for you?” Captain Nat turned his gaze upon the side whiskers and the waistcoat. “Hey?” he queried. “I say, is there anything I can do for.you?” The captain shook his head. “No-oo,” he drawled dryly, “I’m afraid not, son. I admit that don’t seem I scarcely possible, but I am afraid it’s i so.” “Looking for something in our line, was you?” “Well, I don’t know. What might be on your line —clothes?” The bewhiskered one drew himself up. “I am connected with Stone & Barker,” he said sharply. “And, seeing you standing in our doorway, I thought possibly ” “Yes, yes. Beg your pardon, I’m j sure. No, I don’t want to buy anything. I come to see Mr. Stone on a personal matter.” “He’s busy, I suppose.” “So he says.” The young man smiled with serene satisfaction. “I’m not surprised,” he observed complacently. “We are a busy house. Mr. —er ” “Hammond's my name. Are you Mr. Barker?” > “No-o, my narzo L< RHnce.” “So? Silent partner in the firm, hey?” “No-o, not exactly.” Mr. Prince was slightly embarrassed. “No, I am a—a salesman—at present. Was the matter you wished to see Mr. Stone about a very private one?” “Middlin’.” “Well. I asked because Mr. Stone 1b a busy man and we like to »*ve him all the—the ” "Trouble you can, hey? That’s nice of you, you must save him a lot, Mr —er —King.-was it?” “No, Prince.”. “Sure and sartln’, Prince, of course. I knew ’twas connected with the royal family. Well. Mr. Prince, I’m afraid even you can’t help me nor him out this time. I’m lookin' up a friend of mine, a widow lady from down the Cape. She’s a relation of Mr. Stone’s, and she’s come to Boston during the last day or so. I thought likely he might know where she was, that’s all. That would be a little out of your latitude, hey?” “I don’t know. He" name wasn’t Coffin, was it?” Captain Nat started. “It certainly was,” he answered eagerly. “How’d you know that?” Mr. Prince’s complacence was superb. “Oh,” he answered with condescension, “Mr. Stone trusts me with a good many of his personal affairs.” "I should think likely he would. But about Mrs. Coffin? You was goin' to say?” “She is with James Hallett & Co., tho tailors, on Washington street. Mr. Stone found a place for her there, I i believe. I?—er —er —superintended the carrying of her Valise and — What?” “Nothin’, nothin’. Hum! Hallett & I i ® W I i “Listen! Listen to Me! Ansel Coffin ! Is'Dead.” l Co., tailors? What number Washin’ton street did you say?” Mr. Prince pve the number. “Thank you a let,” said Captain Nat, with fervor. “Good-by, Mr. Prince. Hope the next time I come you’ll be jn the firm Good day, sir.” “Good day. Nothing else I can do? And you won’t wait for Mr. Stone? Very good. I-s there any message for him that you would like td leave?” “Hey?” Nat had started to go, but now he paused and turned. There was a grim twinkle in his eye. “Message?” !he repeated. “Why, ye-es, I don’t know but there is. You just give Mr. Stone Cap’n Hammond’s compliments and tell him I’m lookin’ forward to ' interviewin’ him some time. Just tell him that, will you?” “I’ll tell him. Glad to have met you, Captain Hammond.” In the workshop of Hallet & Co., Keziah sat sewing busily. The window near her was closed, stuck fast, and through the dingy panes she could see only roofs and chimneys. The other women and girls near her chatted and laughed, but she was si- , lent. She did not feel like talking, certainly not like laughing. The garment she was at work on was a coat, , a wedding coat, so the foreman had told her, with a smile; therefore she must be very particular. The narrow i stairway leading up to the workshop ( ended in a little boxed-ln room where i the finished garments were hung to ] await the final pressing. From be-

hind the closed door of this room came the sound of voices, apparently in heated argument. One of these voices was that of Larry, the errand boy. Larry was speaking shrilly and with emphasis. The other voice was lower in key and the words were inaudible. “No, sir, you can’t,” declared Larry. “You can’t, I tell you. The boss don’t let nobody in there and — Hold on! Hold on!” The other voice made a short but evidently earnest answer. Larry again i expostulated. The workers looked up s from their sewing. The door opened ■ and Larry appeared, flushed and ex- i cited. “Where’s' Mr. Upham?” he demand- { ed. “Mr. Upham!” Upham was the foreman of the ■ workroom. At "the moment he was ; downstairs in conversation with the j head of the house. A half dozen gave I this information. “What’s the matter? Who is it” ' asked several. “I don’t know who ’tis. It's a man 1 and he's crazy, I think. I told him \ he couldn’t come in here, but he just j keeps a’comin’. He wants to see some- i body named Coffin and there ain't no i Coffins here.” Keziah’s nearest neighbor leaned | toward her. I “I guess it’s somebody to see you,” ‘ she said. “Your name is Coffin, ain’t i it?” “No, no. That is, it can’t be any- i body to see me. I don’t want to see ; anybody. Tel! him so, whoever it is j I can’t see anybody. I—Nat!” “Keziah,” he said, “come here. I ' want you. I’ll tell you why in a min- I ute. Come!’’ (TO BE CONTINUED.) NEED OF CARPETS FOR ROADS ’ English Expert Recommends Use of > an “Elastic Skin” on the Highways. A lecture was recently delivered by a membei' of the board before the Royal Institute of London on “The . Road —Past, ‘Present and Future,” ac- ! cording to Consular and Trade Re- ; ports. The lecturer said the problem , wai to find the best mode by which a , road should be constructed so that its | surface would not be broken by traf- i sic, so that the transit might be easier ; for both passengers and goods, a road • which would form neither puddle : holes nor exude mud from vehicles , and create no dust when the weather i was dry. One thing was universally recog- 1 nixed, that the road of the future j should be a truly bound road in which, i whatever kind of stone was used, the | stone should be held together so that i it would form a crust. The lecturer ! suggested that what he called a car- i pet or an elastic skin should be adopted as the covering. The carpet, he thought, should be made of bituminous material mixed with sand and placed on the roads in various thicknesses, according to the nature of the traffic. It should go on in liquid form, solidifying quickly, but always remaining resilient and compressible, and so integrating with the crust of the surface below. The advantage of such a carpet, It was said, would be to permanently protect the crust, and, just as a carpet on the floor softens the step, so would this carpet for the roads silence the noise and reduce the shock of rolling , vehicles. It was admitted that the or-J iginal cost of a road so laid would bS 1 more than that of a mud bound road, | but spreading the cost over a series of years it would probably not be so great, since the crust of the road itself would not have to be renewed. Sadly Disillusioned. A certain young man of tender heart has lost his-faith in mankind. Some years ago he did a favor for a friend, who, to show his appreciation, present- ; ed him with a pipe of meerschaum persuasion, wonderfully and marvel- j ously wrought and bearing date of a j hundred years before. The young man j treasured this pipe, which was to him I a masterpiece. And vrhenever the blue | I smoke curled upward from its bowl ' his heart swelled with the thought i of the generosity and goodness of the i human race, for he had been told ; when the pipe was handed to him that ; a pawnbroker would advance three | dollars on it, thus proving it to be worth at least a ten-spot. Doing favors, ho thought, surely furnished recompense. And then one day he brokei the stem. .He took it to a tobacco- ! nist with whom he was well acquaint- I ed and asked to have it mended. “It’s I such a treasure,” be explained. “Notice t the work on it and the date.” The to- , bacconist smiled. “My boy,” he re- ; marked, “they turn these out by th® I barrel and sell them for ten cents.” !

It is one of the most flourishing and most enlightened of all the native states. Time was when its inhabitants, who were warlike, had little time for anything but fighting the Marathas and other fierce tribes by whom they were surrounde. ' Then came old Nawab Eikander Began:—a woman ruler —and everything was changed. The arts of war made way for the arts of peace. She was succeeded on the throne by a daughter and she in turn by the woman whose emphonious name heads this editorial. The Influence of these three women rulers has been beyond estimate. Bhopal has been at peace. Her people have devloped their industries and their arts. They have flourished Mnd poverty has been decreased. Hurrah for Jahan Begam!

FIRST SIGHT OF GEN. GRANT ; Streets of Culpepper Lined With Men Eager to Catch GHrnpse of Famous Commander. ■ “General Grant is on the next train. { Better take a position on the sidewalk i where you can get a good look at ; i him.” I I took the advice of the natty lieu- . I tenant of the “Red Legs.” as the Four- | ; teenth Brooklyn were called. I took j I a position a block from the pudgy litj tie station at Culpepper court house. ■ i Va. Word seemed to have passed . 1 around a good many corners that ; “Grant is on the next train,” for the > walks on either side of the street I i were lined with men eager to catch a i glimpse of the great general, th* | j Moses who had been sent from ths , I west to lead the army of the Potomac j I through the w’lldemess and end the ■ war. General Grant’s headquarters were j In a brick house eight or ten blocks I from the station. Himself and a num- | i ber of the staff had gone to Washingi ton the Saturday before to meet Pres- I i Ident Lincoln, General Halleck and Secretary Stanton. I How vividly the scenes of the Cui- i s pepper street on that 5 balmy March i ! forenoon of forty-seven years ago. the ■ first time I saw General Grant, come , back to me. I can hear the shrill i whistle of the engine, see the two i weather-beaten passenger ©caches and a freight car as they stopped.

Among j these I recall Grant’s strong right ■ arm. General Rawlins, Colonel Bareau, ■ Colonel Parker, the Indian. Maforo j Rowley and Bowers. The driver oi ' the ambulance was apparently told ! ! that the general would walk to head- : quarters, for he drove away without ■ a passenger. Half of the staff was on ; ! either side of the street, about ten j feet from the sidewalk. I locked ; i sharply for the lieutenant general In j i this party, but none of them? resem- j I bled the pictures of the new man. ' “There he comes!” passed along the i i spectator brigade.
